Chartered Director (SA)

Every company should be headed by a board
that is the focal point of governance. The board should provide effective
and ethical leadership to direct and safeguard relationships between
management, the board, shareholders and other stakeholders. To do this,
directors require specialist skills, knowledge, experience and integrity – all
while meeting the challenges of today’s complex business environment.

The CD(SA)® designation is designed to enhance
directorship as a profession and further promote sound corporate governance in
South Africa.

Although
the Companies Act, 2008, provides for ineligibility and disqualification of
directors, there are no professional or occupational qualification
criteria. CD(SA)® will assess and credit the mastery of directors while
enhancing the skills of directors in South Africa.

The CD(SA) designation will:

Enable directors to demonstrate their mastery of knowledge, skills and
experience

Enable directors to evidence their commitment to on-going professional
learning

Enable directors to demonstrate their integrity and commitment to moral
and legal duties;

Create a pathway for aspirant directors to enhance their careers;

Lend credibility to the profession by upholding standards for
directorship and sound corporate governance; and,

Result in better directors, better boards and better business in the
interest of South Africa.
